One of the many purposes I created this little corner of the internet was to help keep myself accountable. Whether that’s in regards to eating well, keeping my own workouts consistent, or any other goal I wish to accomplish, O&R gives me more of a push to get it done. I feel that if I post it to the internet, somebody is out there reading it (hopefully HA). Granted, I am self-motivated to a certain extent, but this extra form of accountability is just another way to stack on track.
At the beginning of May, I set some goals that I wanted to complete, so today I am going to share how those went!
1) Highlight the best part of each day: Completed! Almost.
I did this almost everyday. I did this the majority of May, and I felt better mentally because of it. You just feel soooo much better when you dwell on the GOOD rather than the bad.
2) Actually finish a book: Completed!
I had actually planned on reading The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt, but with all of my travel this month, this book was just too large to carry around. I picked Sharp Object by Gillian Flynn for this month, and flew through it. Such a great thriller, even though it was highly disturbing.
3) Sign Up for a Half Marathon: Nope.
This was a no-go. I spent a great deal of the beginning of May trying to plan a half marathon with friends, but we never settled on one. We all live in different cites so it has been hard to plan for a half marathon where 2 or 3 of us would have to travel. We also all want to do a girls weekend somewhere and we planned that, just not the half. I thought another half marathon would be nice this year, but it really hasn’t been one of my main priorities. I will be in a nursing class on the weekends from October through December, so I really need to do one in September if I want to. AKA get training ASAP. Welp, if I don’t do one, I won’t lose sleep over it. We’ll see. There’s always next year!
4) Take more pictures: Kinda?
I feel like I’ve stepped up my game a little bit with taking pictures of my food and I guess my day-to-day overall. It is not anywhere where I want it to be; I still think this blog is lacking. I just purchased a camera though off Amazon so that will for sure get my butt in gear!
5) Post 1 workout or fitness-related post to O&R: Nope.
Somehow this did not happen. I know I posted some of the exercises from the classes I taught in my Weekly workouts post, but my main goal was to post a workout with pictures and modifications. With this new camera coming in the mail (TODAY eeek!), it will be happening very soon!
6) Become a Certified Health and Wellness Coach: In progress!
This month, I completed the 18-week Wellcoaches training to become a Certified Health and Wellness Coach. Woohoo! But now that the class is over, it is time for all of the studying and work with practice clients to become certified. I should have broken this goal down into something more specific, because it would have been impossible to get all the post-class work done to become certified. More on this soon!
